World Horizons

About

World horizons is an intergenerational and culturally diverse international movement. 

World horizons began in the early 1980’s when a group of young people with a desire for adventure asked God where in the world they should go. Setting out to discover the places where their prayers led them, they settled in new countries where they saw the transforming power of Jesus at work in people’s lives. Many of these incredible pioneers are still part of our movement today!

We have learned so much along the way and our passion to pioneer has seen many of us embark on amazing adventures to far flung places. Today, World Horizons has around 400 workers in 30 different countries. 

We have discovered that we are at our best when we are working into the ‘not yet’ regions. The marginalised and under-served places and people of our world, where the need is very great but so often overlooked. 

We now live during a time where there is greater global migration than at any previous point in history. As people move from anywhere to everywhere, there are incredible opportunities for us to work inter-culturally wherever we live! Advances in digital technology have transformed our communication with people around the world. These changes have expanded our connections with people globally and changed how we play our part in God’s work. 

Our desire is to see people flourish, which has led us to encouraging the arts and empowering entrepreneurs. Much of our work is done in partnership with others through engaging churches and equipping workers.

Our Ethos - loving God and loving others amongst all peoples. 

We do this by - embracing refugees, empowering entrepreneurs, enabling prayer, encouraging the arts, engaging churches, equipping workers and experiencing adventure. 

Our passion is for everything we do to come from a place of prayer and an ongoing relationship with God.
